Adnodau Beiblaidd Poblogaidd o NgokukaJohane 6

Rhanna

UJesu wathi kubo: “Mina ngiyisinkwa sokuphila; ozayo kimi kasoze alamba, nokholwa yimi kasoze oma.

NguMoya ophilisayo, inyama ayisizi lutho; amazwi engiwakhulume kini angumoya, angukuphila.

Ningasebenzeli ukudla okuphelayo kepha ukudla okuhlala kuze kube ngukuphila okuphakade, eyakunipha khona iNdodana yomuntu, ngokuba uYise uNkulunkulu ubekile uphawu kuyona.”

Ngokuba lokhu kuyintando kaBaba ukuba yilowo nalowo obona iNdodana, akholwe yiyo, abe nokuphila okuphakade; ngiyakumvusa mina ngomuhla wokuphela.”

Waphendula uJesu, wathi kubo: “Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu yilowo ukuba nikholwe nguye amthumileyo.”

Konke angipha khona uBaba kuyakuza kimi; ozayo kimi angisoze ngamlahlela ngaphandle.

USimoni Petru wamphendula wathi: “Nkosi, siyakuya kubani na? Amazwi okuphila okuphakade akuwe.

Mina ngiyisinkwa esiphilayo esehla ezulwini. Uma umuntu edla lesi sinkwa, uyakuphila phakade; futhi-ke isinkwa engizakusinikela ngenxa yokuphila kwezwe siyinyama yami.”

Akakho ongeza kimi, uma uBaba ongithumileyo engamdonsi; mina-ke ngiyakumvusa ngomuhla wokuphela.

Ngokuba isinkwa sikaNkulunkulu singuye owehla ezulwini, olipha izwe ukuphila.”

Mina ngiyisinkwa sokuphila.

UJesu wazithabatha izinkwa, wabonga, wayesezabela ababehlezi phansi, kanjalo futhi nezinhlanzana, njengokuthanda kwabo. Kuthe sebesuthi, wathi kubafundi bakhe: “Buthani imvuthuluka eseleyo, kungachitheki lutho.”

Khona sebegwedlile kungathi amastadiyu* angamashumi amabili nanhlanu noma amashumi amathathu, babona uJesu ehamba phezu kolwandle, esondela emkhunjini; bethuka. Kepha wathi kubo: “Yimina, ningesabi.”
